Be careful of any "expectation" of the Launch Control.

there is no "system" (i.e. Torque management, Traction Control, etc) that controls how the clutch is engaged. That is up to the driver.

so if you have Traction Control enabled while attempting an aggressive launch, if the tires start to spin, the only option the "system" has is to cut power... i.e. feels like bog. I drive in "Competitive Mode" to avoid this Bog..... it is up to me if my tires spin or not.

If you have Traction Control off, then you as the driver can adjust engine power vs engaging the clutch (i.e. slipping the clutch) just the "right amount" to achieve maximum acceleration. Trying to achieve this with Traction Control enabled could be very frustrating I would think.

If the Camaro had a "Launch Control" that actually operated the Clutch FOR YOU, then I would blame the car.
